Benfica lose their heads, bid €30m for 80% of Trubin's compatriot’s rights | OneFootball

30 million euros for 80% of the economic rights of the player. This is said to be the proposal presented by Benfica for Georgiy Sudakov, the 22-year-old Ukrainian international from Shakhtar Donetsk. The news is being reported by Luís Aguilar, a journalist from SIC Notícias, who does not reveal whether the offer has been accepted.

Georgiy Sudakov is one of the main prospects in Ukrainian football and is currently on the books at Shakhtar Donetsk. The club does not intend to sell the player; however, their failure to qualify for the Europa League may force them to make a sale. The young midfielder is highly sought after across Europe, with the greatest interest coming from Benfica.

The player has already informed Shakhtar’s management of his desire to leave Ukraine to take the next step in his career. Sudakov has already told his representatives that he wants to move to Luz; however, if the transfer goes through for the numbers being discussed, it would be the biggest purchase in Benfica’s history, surpassing the 27 million euros paid for Richard Ríos.

This season, Georgiy Sudakov – valued at 32 million euros – has so far played in nine matches: five in the Europa League qualifying rounds, three in the National Championship, and one in the Conference League preliminary rounds. In the 643 minutes he has spent on the pitch, the midfielder has provided two assists.
